There are two stalls in the bathroom on my floor, and both have automatic flushing. But the one on the right is miscalibrated, so it flushes every time I lean to wipe, which is really annoying. So the one on the left is my favorite.
Accidental bidet
If it's a sensor flusher, and you're able to hang a piece of TP over the sensor (like it's not built into the wall or anything), you can do that to keep it from flushing when you're not ready.
Then when you're all done, just remove the TP and toss it into the bowl for the auto-flush as you're walking away.
Due to odd building geometry, the handicap stall in the ladies restrooms off the main lobby is bigger in sqft than my assigned workspace. I think of it as my "more private office."
I work from home and we only have 1 bathroom so....
Back at my old job (I haven't really worked in an office since, remote and all that) the newer building across the street had restrooms with stalls that closed all the way and went down to the floor, no gaps. And there were an absolute ton of stalls. (One of the issues I've had since gender transition is the continued need to use a stall but there are usually way less in the men's room, but the restrooms in that building had so many stalls, it was incredible.)
At school, but yeah I used to. That building is now closed. Basically nobody else was going there because they put the doors such that they would barely fit to open. So you'd have to squeeze in next to the toilet bowl to close the doors. But nobody would bother me there. Also since they open inwards, you could just stop anyone trying to open them.
There's three choices on my floor. One is acceptable and my preference cuz it's close and clean. One is awful, it's dirty and one of the stalls has a broken door that doesn't close. The third which I never use is my favorite, I leave I as a mysterious luxury bathroom in my head and I'll never use it in case that isn't the reality of it. I like to think it has bidets and hot towels to dry my hands, sometimes even an attendant
I used to but they are awful now.
There used to be a nice one in the "abandoned" lobby after they built a new part of the building with a new lobby. That all got renovated for more work space.
Then I used the one in the upstairs offices because no one worked up there but now it's just as crowded.
Now it doesn't matter they've done poor renovations on all the bathrooms and they are all full all the time. The worst part is the urinals they chose have some weird curvature to spray piss everywhere no matter how you angle your stream.
Luckily I go home for lunch and can usually do my business there.

I hate this. Why can we land rovers on Mars but not figure out how to design a toilet that doesn't splatter piss on us?
We've got 4 toilets in my floor, but only one gets a barely functioning 3G signal.
This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.
Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.
The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.
Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.
They forced my company to come back to the office 4 days a week (I'm miserable, btw) but the company on the floor above us on the east side either moved, went out of business, or went full WFH, so I use their bathroom. Specifically the extra big handicap stall farthest away from the door. It's great, no one's ever up there. I would stay up there all day if I could.
I work in an old steel mill. My dept, the rod mill has a horrible bathroom and it’s heavily used. I’ll urinate there, but for other duties, I’ll take the 100 yard walk to the main locker rooms with nicer, quieter facilities
I have a favourite one at home. The only one.
I work from home and recently a client asked what the best part of working from home is. Without a second thought I told him it was shitting in my own toilet. It's honest to God the best part of working from home.
We used to have a separate floor for receiving visitors and giving presentations. The toilets there were a cut above the rest. Soft lighting, solid seats, and the thing I loved most of all: heated water coming from the sink faucets 🥰
They were a joy to use, but after Covid they repurposed and remodeled the floor. Now the toilets are worse than on the other floors.
Those heated faucets will always hold a special place in my heart :)On a tangent, ...
tldr: Hot water tends to majorly influence home/office energy use.
tl: Since living with rooftop solar here, I have noticed just how much energy is often drawn because of warm water. As in, in this house, you can see very noticeable usage spikes in the solar app whenever someone showers or washes dishes. I've completely given up on washing my hands with warm water and have reduced the amount of water I shower with. We've also started using the electric kettle for heating water because it means you usually only heat up about as much water as you actually need and the kettle has a pretty uniform 2kW power draw (which helps make it work on solar).
Obviously, there are different systems for heating water but one way or another, they tend to use a lot of energy and heat more water than necessary to higher temperatures than necessary. Unsurprisingly, other major energy wasters that most of us come into contact on a daily basis are also all about changing temperatures, namely home heating, AC and gas-powered motors (aka drivable heatings).
We have a lobby for visitors. Naturally, it has the nicest bathrooms. I work night, when we never have visitors. It is definitely the ideal place to take a poop.
Yeah, there only single person bathrooms where I work and it depends on the action I plan to take. Peeing I'll do any of them, but pooping is reversed for the one in the corner, away from everything and everyone and it always has plenty of spray.
